60 Years of Strife: Ending War in Korea
Democracy and Class Struggle publishes this important report on the Peace Movement in South Korea has part of raising the importance of resolving the Korean conflict and combating pro imperialist Leftism on the question of the Korean National Liberation Struggle.
We also wish to draw your attention to new provocation against North Korea here :
On the surface, the casual observer of Korea could be forgiven for forgetting that the nation is still at war. The South has been utterly transformed since the days of the fighting, with the impressive skyline of modern-day Seoul reflecting the country's modern, high-tech economy.
Even the DMZ has been tamed and gentrified, with souvenir shops and tourist attractions mingling seamlessly with military personnel whose presence at times seems more ceremonial than operational.
But beneath that surface remains the deep, lingering scars of a nation divided against itself, and the memories of a bitter, brutal war.
Now, 60 years after the signing of the armistice, Korean peace activists are working harder than ever to confront the myths that have propped up and maintained this state of war, spearheading an effort to finally bring real peace to the Korean peninsula.
